Abstract (en)

The invention pertains to a method for real-time presentation of information to an operator (31) of a mining operation, the information being related to at least a first stone block (51) to be removed from an exploitation site (50) in the course of the mining operation, the method comprising capturing with a camera (11) a video stream of the mining operation of the first block (51); recognizing the first block (51) in the video stream; extracting image data of the first block (51) from the video stream; determining, based on the image data, at least one parameter of the first block (51); obtaining, based on the parameter, information related to the mining operation; and visualizing the video stream in real time to the operator (31) on a display (16), the video stream comprising an image of the first block (51), wherein visualizing the video stream comprises using augmented reality techniques to visualize the image of the first block (51) in an accentuated manner, and overlay the video stream with the information. The invention furthermore pertains to a system for performing the method and to a mining vehicle (30) comprising the system.
